Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You left your keys on the counter
Your cup still half-full by the sink
Coat on the chair in the hallway
Like you might come back any blink
Family photos on the fridge door
Smiles pressed flat behind the glass
I'm tracing faces with my fingers
As if that could bring you back
[Chorus]
You left
But the light stays on
Every room humming your name
I'm torn between calling and silence
Between holding on and taking the blame
In this house full of family shadows
I talk to your reflection in the glass
There was light
Now there's darkness where we laughed
[Verse 2]
I keep your mug in the cupboard
Still buy your cereal out of habit (oh)
Sit on your side of the sofa
Hear your echo in every cabinet
I pass your chair at the table
Set a place then take it away
It's a war between hope and surrender
Every second of every day
[Chorus]
You left
But the light stays on
Every room humming your name
I'm torn between calling and silence
Between holding on and taking the blame
In this house full of family shadows
I talk to your reflection in the glass
There was light
Now there's darkness where we laughed
[Bridge]
If I step outside
Does the world move on?
If I stay right here
Do I stay half-gone? (yeah)
I am caught in a crack in the doorway
Half in the light
Half in the dark
[Chorus]
You left
But the light stays on
Every room humming your name
I'm torn between calling and silence
Between holding on and taking the blame
In this house full of family shadows
I talk to your reflection in the glass
There was light
Now there's darkness where we laughed
There was light
Now there's darkness where we laughed

pop, Modern sad pop ballad with intimate piano and soft pads, male vocals up close and fragile at first. Verse one stays sparse; chorus swells with sub bass, airy synths, and stacked harmonies on the hook. Second pass adds gentle percussion and distant vocal chops, then strips back to piano and a lingering pad on the last line., light, sad
